A crash partially shut down Highway 15/176th Street at Golden Ears Way for more than an hour Tuesday (July 20).
Surrey RCMP Sergeant Elenore Sturko said the four-vehicle crash stemmed from a “Dodge truck (that) allegedly cut off and hit another vehicle.” Police got the call around 8:20 p.m., she added.
She said one of the drivers was “suspected to be impaired by alcohol” and was subsequently arrested for impaired operation of a vehicle.
Surrey RCMP is now conducting an impaired driving investigation.
Sturko added all the injuries were “minor in nature.”
Photos and video of the scene from a Black Press Media freelancer showed debris covering the road, including a traffic signal.
The northbound lanes of the highway were closed for more than an hour, he noted, as crews investigated and cleared up the scene.
We need to rethink how we treat 176th street. We should treat it like the Highway that it is. There should be absolutely no at-level crossings. #SurreyBC https://t.co/E7kuTfGcvM
